Teaching without research will not lead you far

Teaching without research will not make you far

——Shuyang Education’s “Lizi Project” is teaching and research

?Learning/teaching is not a practice

Introduction: If you want teachers’ labor to bring fun to teachers so that teaching every day will not become a tedious business, then you should guide every teacher to embark on the path of happiness in research. Road up. ——[Su] Khomlinsky

Teaching research is the only way for teachers to "plan themselves and shape themselves" and become a famous teacher. The famous German educator Di Stowei said: "A low-level teacher only dedicates the truth to students, while an excellent teacher allows students to discover the truth on their own." In the career of education, studying the phenomena that occur in education is every day The compulsory homework for every teacher is to study the teaching content and solve "what students are going to learn", study the teaching process and solve "how students learn", study exercises and study "how well students master it". At the same time, we should also study psychology, micro-expressions, etc. to see how these students solve the problems that exist in the learning process.

Suhomlinsky said: "Among excellent teachers, one of the outstanding characteristics of students' learning is that they adopt a research attitude towards the object of study. Teachers do not apply ready-made conclusions to a certain subject. Therefore, smart teachers often study how to let students learn naturally, focusing on guidance and inspiration in the process, rather than using tricks to force students to "memorize the results!" In the teaching process, teaching research is something that naturally occurs during teachers' teaching activities. The reason why we advocate attaching importance to teaching and research is because teachers spend too much energy and time on "improving grades", "coping with inspections", and "leaving traces of work", which is formal and utilitarian and does not really give full play to research. There is a lack of environment for "educators" to grow up. Some leaders in the education sector do not pay attention to teaching and research but only care about teaching results. They even laughed at teachers and said that some people have been teaching the same content for decades, and the result is that they are young people who have just graduated without passing the exam. The meaning is clear: the teacher's job is to "repeat the stories of the past."

Is teaching really that simple? As times develop and society progresses, teachers' teaching methods should also change. Teaching is by no means simply repeating "old content." Children are no longer the children of yesterday, so why are we still using yesterday’s teaching methods? In addition to completing teaching, teachers should also promote their professional growth through educational research and improve the quality of their education and teaching through scientific research.

Today, there are not many leaders who pay attention to teaching and research, and there are also very few schools that pay attention to teaching and research. Teachers’ professional development time is not guaranteed, and special funds for educational research are almost not implemented. Teachers study, study and teach. The atmosphere has not really been formed, and even the results of teachers' research are only for one purpose-the acceptance of the project. It is really a waste of educational resources to have things that have taken several years of manpower, material and financial resources to research be shelved.

Of course, those teaching and research results that are “copied, pieced together, pieced together” or “come up with new terms and new tricks” are not necessary. Educational research must not be false in the slightest, and any materials, data, The process must be real, and observation and research must be serious and responsible. Since the reform and opening up in Shuyang, how many national, provincial and municipal projects have been promoted and applied? How many of the so-called scientific research results that have been produced so hard have been promoted and passed down in Shuyang’s education circles and even the city, province, and country?

Teaching research is the process by which teachers convert "those valuable thoughts" into words during the teaching process. Teaching research is also the only way for "teachers' professional growth". Teaching research is an important way to "improve the quality of school classroom teaching" . Teachers' research "selects small areas, focuses on strong targets, and emphasizes methods." We cannot expect that one or several teaching and research activities inside and outside the county can stimulate teachers' enthusiasm. We must have a "combination punch" and adopt a series of measures to encourage teachers to participate in teaching and research. , such as studying for exams.

An article stated that Singapore education has three magic weapons worth learning: "education research-based" teaching and exercise design, narrower and deeper teaching content and intensive training that pursues everyone's mastery, and better teachers. Some Chinese media simplified it into "exercise books, compulsory tutoring, and good treatment of teachers." Teachers across the county can be mobilized to compile a "Collection of Solutions to Chinese Test Papers", "A Collection of Typical Question Types in Mathematics", and a "Collection of Solutions to Important and Difficult English Questions". Each school can organize teachers to dynamically study a question type or a certain type of questions over a long period of time. Chapters are summarized and exchanged. For good topics, the county will publish them as "county-based textbooks" to ensure funding and publish them internally.

Taking the subject of mathematics as an example, the two major education groups each studied a chapter and then "competed with each other", including tutorial plans, lesson plans, courseware, after-class exercises, etc. Then, we polish it repeatedly on this basis, and add new elements with the changes in the college entrance examination, high school entrance examination and the development of the times. These materials can be used as important reference materials for front-line teachers when teaching. Teachers have several classes every week that they are proud of. They pay more and more attention to the effectiveness of the class and seek benefits from 45 minutes instead of blindly "extending teaching time and increasing the frequency of exams." Only in this way can Shuyang have It is possible to produce more excellent teachers and more first-class talents!

Liang Qichao also said: "Teachers do not teach people with the results obtained. The most important thing is to teach people how to obtain results." Writing promotes research, and research and teaching go hand in hand. Avoid "slogan-style" and "slogan-style" activities, improve educational theories in a down-to-earth manner, and study methods to teach students well. There will be more research on solving individual "specific problems" and less research on "empty theories" that are of no use. In the information age, communication is convenient, relying on the Internet, with "experts and famous teachers" as the leader, and using platform interaction, DingTalk meetings, Tencent chat, forum discussions, and blog creation as the basic forms to realize interactive training among teachers. As a teacher, you must broaden your horizons, update your knowledge, and not be satisfied with speculating and selling in the teaching process. You must develop your own independent thinking teaching style.

Teaching research and teaching promote each other. Teaching research is the "internal skill" and teaching is the "external skill". Only by practicing both internal and external skills can we develop "unparalleled teaching skills"! Whether research can be effective requires teachers to study not only education, but also philosophy, management, psychology, economics, etc. Only with extensive knowledge can they conduct more in-depth research.

Teaching and research is not only a matter for individual teachers, but also requires "institutionalization and leadership attention" and increased investment. I believe that as long as all education colleagues work together, Shuyang Education will surely produce talents in large numbers. . We must not only "cultivate talents", but also "cultivate talents who cultivate talents", so that more Shuyang teachers can step onto a larger and higher stage of education!

Thoughts:

1. Regularly publish the "Shuyang Education and Scientific Research Booklet" for "internal distribution of education", and take out good educational practices for reflection, improvement and inheritance. Flexible and timely feedback on the latest developments in Shuyang’s education field.

2. Soft investment in education, research on “county-based tutorials”. School-based textbooks are limited to human resources, resources, and the attention of top leaders and appear to be uneven, while "county-based textbooks" can be completed by organizing more teachers, investing more funds, and giving the most attention.

4. Improve the benefits of "teaching and research experts", such as providing research assistants, providing separate office space, and conducting publicity.

5. Fully guarantee the funding of the teaching and research department and ensure that there are no less than 50 large-scale teaching and research activities each year. Investment in teaching and research must be "regardless of cost, no matter the price." Only with this spirit can we do a good job in education.

6. Hold the school’s “Teaching and Research Festival” and conduct more research on topics such as “how to cultivate students’ extracurricular reading ability”, “how to cultivate students to learn to learn and think”, “effective teaching strategies”, “how to carry out parent schools” ” and other practical “pragmatic issues”.

7. Strengthen the construction of "lesson preparation groups" in group schools, give full play to the advantages of teamwork in listening to classes, evaluating classes, and polishing classes, fully conduct research on teaching materials, and create exciting classes that suit each teacher's personality.

8. Teaching and research is a long-term project and cannot be rushed for quick success.

The results of teaching and scientific research cannot be shelved. They must be promoted, passed on, and improved. They cannot be sealed away after completion.

9. Relying on teaching and research, create a good teaching and research atmosphere for teachers, and truly realize "scientific research to develop schools" and "scientific research to develop teaching".

10. The "track" of the college entrance examination has changed. The classroom does not need to be "flipped", but it must be studied carefully. Everyone in the Shuyang education circle is thinking about "how teachers can re-interpret their new classrooms under the new college entrance examination."

(Tips for teaching and research: Article 11 of the "Education Law of the People's Republic of China": The state supports, encourages and organizes educational scientific research, promotes the results of educational scientific research, and promotes the improvement of education quality. Article 7 of the "Teachers Law of the People's Republic of China": Teachers have the right to engage in scientific research, academic exchanges, participate in professional academic groups, and fully express their opinions in academic activities)
